Lively Indian-Malaysian spot with standout tandoor, dosa and roti, fair-to-good value at lunch, pricier at dinner; small, sometimes cramped room with generally friendly service and occasional misses.
Indian Chopsticks delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality in curries and tandoor preparations, supported by warm, attentive service. However, quality variation across visits and tight seating in a cramped room prevent it from reaching higher territory. Lunch sets offer genuine value, making it a reliable choice for South Asian and Malaysian fare despite occasional seasoning inconsistencies.
On a busy Jordan side street, this small room hums with the sizzle of the tandoor and the crackle of fresh roti. Service feels warm and friendly, and regulars praise the dependable curries while newcomers say the roti is a minor revelation. One diner summed it up: "the lamb shank masala was rich and the fish tikka was a must." Seating can feel cramped at peak hours, but the buzz adds energy. The cooking leans classic Indian with a Malaysian streak rather than showy fusion. Expect well-spiced curries, smoky tandoor fish, and South Indian dosa alongside laksa and char kway teow. Lunch sets deliver strong value, while dinner prices edge higher. Most dishes land with confidence; a few reports mention over-salted seafood or lighter seasoning on certain days. Families do fine here. Kids usually gravitate to butter chicken with naan, roti canai, saffron rice, chicken biryani, and mild curries. Spicing is adjustable on request, though it is not always perfect, so ask clearly if you need extra-mild plates.
